Well, the size of the turbo in reference to the air displacement of the engine makes the horsepower. So lets say you have a 120hp 4banger with a t80 in it (Thats a pretty damn big turbo) it wouldnt spool the turbo til wayyy after the end of the powerband and would be a total waste, and make almost no horse. Its all about getting the right size turbo for the engine.

Im not sure if this is 100% accurate, but, my common sense has always told me, since only 14.7% of our air is actually oxygen, 14 lbs of boost should effectively double the horsepower of an engine, because you are introducing a 2nd enviroment to the engine.

There are two main types of turbos. Turbos people are using, and turbos for sale.

I have a turbo for sale.
